When do you start to decorate for Christmas

[Nancy5]

We will put the outside lights up this weekend (weather permitting) and start decorating the inside and putting the trees up.

I took this week off and was tasked with putting the exterior house lights up today. Unfortunately, as is prone to happen in Colorado, we are getting hit with a surprise snow storm so light placement has been called off for the day. It is supposed to be in the sixties and seventies for the rest of the week so I will, most likely, put them up tomorrow or Friday. I think we will aim at picking up a nine foot tree tomorrow and a live tree on Sunday with the goal of decorating them both on Sunday evening. Decorating the inside trees general involves a bottle of wine (or two) and I have off Monday as well.  I have off the last two weeks of the year as well and am aiming to have all of the Christmas decorations down by January second.

I will start on Friday, and if the weather permits I will decorate the outside of the house too.  I do like to keep everything up until January 6 and then I start taking down.  The only things I might take down before that day if outside if the weather is nice and I get the time

I start decorating inside the day after Thanksgiving. I don't decorate outside any more.

When I use to put up a lot of decorations, I would start putting the up the weekend after Thanksgiving.  Now I not at my house at Christmas so I only put up a few things.

I will try my best this Friday or over the weekend since I have a long weekend before I go back to work. Happy tree trimming to all!

We usually start every December 1, buying a real tree and decorate it.

I like to put my Christmas tree up just before thanksgiving so that my house is nicely decorated for any visitors that we might have. But when I don't have time, I'll put it up as soon as we've tidied away from the thankgiving festivities. One year I put my Christmas tree up so early, I felt like I'd missed something part way through December - Like hosting a dinner party without the actual dinner! I like to have a Christmas movie on while I'm putting up the tree - it makes for a more festive household.

We started the outdoor decorating this week, mainly because it has been so nice out and the weather is going to get colder this weekend.   We won't turn them on till after Thanksgiving but getting them up takes a while so it just worked out better this year to get a head start.   Inside will wait another week or so.  Major cleaning has to be done before I start indoors.   I love decorating.

We usually start decorating after Thanksgiving. This year I think we are only putting up the tree.

After Thanksgiving!

I usually put out all my small decorations the week after Thanksgiving -- the table, fire place, the stair banisters, but we do not put up the tree till about 2 weeks before Christmas --- I do not do as much decorations as I did when I was younger -- I have not put up my outside lights in 2 years -- might change that this year.

Usually we get out real tree two weeks before Christmas and that's when we do all of our decorations
